Big East Conference Results

How nice would it be to have Yakwe next year as a Soph at Marquette?  We would be dreaming of bigger things next year.

Kid is a damn trampoline lol

Officials at the end were very questionable. Surprising amount of free throws late, though for both teams. St John's defense was suffocating at times. They lose Obekpa and are still the best shot blocking team in the league. I'm impressed that Mullin has that woeful collection this competitive this quickly. Be interesting to see how they can do if they add some of the marquee talents they're after.

The Big East is officially looking into the altercation per Zags

The Hall just saved their season.  Not sure that officials didn't influence the final result.  Johnnies maturing as a team nicely.

I agree with this analysis. Seton Hall was toast if they lost.

Mullin will have The Johnnies back to respectability next year.

To be fair,  G'town was close to pulling off upsets @ Maryland and against Duke on a neutral floor (both games decided in the final minute).

That was a long time ago. The Hoyas may end the season dropping 10 of its last 11 with its last three as: Butler, at Marquette, and at Villanova. Not a finish expected for the team picked to finish second this year.

I don't follow GTown enough to know but is it possible JTIII has 'lost' the team?  Certainly can't be the way the Seniors wanted to go out.

Their 7' center is out with an injury. He was easily bigger than Fischer.

I have to wonder if JTIII is starting to feel a tug at the leash. He started fine there, early Final Four, NCAA success, but 3-6 in the Tourney since 2008, no trips past the first round, and even before they lost Hayes they had lost 5/7 games. I think his name makes him hard to fire there, but I think it's pretty clear he's not his father.

1. Villanova
2. Xavier
Providence getting votes in AP and Coaches. Seton Hall getting votes in coaches.

Thursday Providence at Seton Hall is a big game for both.

If you go over to the Georgetown board there is a 73 page thread on  JTIII and the dissatisfaction thereto.

Making a run at the everlasting craptastical mystery thread of the Buzz to SMU era. Though I imagine the JT3 thread stays at least slightly more on topic.

They start calling the moderators North Korea on the first page, so it might not

McDermott says Henry a lotto pick ( I am sure he hopes he goes lol)

[Herman Cain]

This conference is a real bear. Xavier takes Villanova down. We could have a couple of very high seeds in the tournament.

[We R Final Four]

MU beats Creighton.........bad for the league.......and I love every second of it!

Oh yeah, and it's a bear!

[Herman Cain]

Big game for the league tonight. Providence at Seton Hall. Would be a good quality win for Seton Hall if they can pull it off. 

[Herman Cain]

Bentil ejected with 3:40 left. Had 31 points. Seton Hall up by 10.

[Herman Cain]

Bentil technical was a flagrant 2

MU in 4 way tie for 5th. Not sure on tie breakers, but they're 3-1 against the team they are tied with, so technically probably on 5th.

Yeah we are technically 5th right now. Win the mini conference formed by the 4 tied teams. If we beat Butler and  Georgetown we would win any 3-4-5 way tiebreakers, I believe.

Where's MUBasketball with the projected Big East bracket? I want to see us with the bye!
